Microsoft have released their new kart game Joy Ride Turbo.  The racing game will not be a sequel to Kinect Joy Ride but instead will be playable with a controller.

Joy Ride Turbo puts your avatars in the driving seat and like other karting games, has you racing along circuits and dispatching enemies with several wacky power-ups.

Players will be able to play Joy Ride Turbo with up to four people on split-screen or eight people online.

Joy Ride Turbo is out today and costs 800 MSP.

Here’s the official press release from Microsoft:

“From the Kinect Joy Ride creators comes Joy Ride Turbo, a controller-based arcade racer delivering precision handling and crazy stunts with more thrills, speed, & mayhem! In the new Stunt Park, you’re free to show off! There’s no limit to the whacky tour de force you achieve with friends. It’s a vibrant playground for your car – jump off cliffs, shoot from a cannon, & more. Plus, explore and find collectibles that unlock cars – giving you an edge for faster races and death-defying tricks. Race new tracks, old favorites and 3 modes of play: Battle Race, Pro Race & Time Trial. Challenge family & friends to local 4-player split-screen or race up to 8 on Xbox LIVE. With Joy Ride Turbo, everyone’s in the driver’s seat in this madcap kart racer.”
